human being loses both hands the power
Of writing is also lost by the luckless in

But there is young man in Bellville, y.

rubber ones substituted with which he is
able already TO write a clear, legible hand.

Even in these days Of hurry and fOrgetful-
ness the name Of Florence Nightingale is
SYNONYMOUS with all that is tender and
brave and self sacrificing in woman. Thirty
years ago her name was a household word,
and there is no doubt that her noble example
acted as a stimulus to many of the self sacri-
ficing women of both sections Of the United
States who went 10 the front during the
fratricidal struggle of 1915.
But notwithstanding this there are many
readers who have but faint knowledge Of
Florence Nightingale and her noble work.
She Is Of English parentage, though born IN
Florence, Italy, and is the younger daughter
of Sheffield banker named Shore, who
adopted the name Nightingale in accordance
with the terms of the will Of Peter Nightin-
gale. whose property fell to Shore. Florence
received the best Of instruction in the Ian
guages, the classics, Mathematics, music,
etc. but at an early age turned her attention
20 the care Of the sick, visiting hospitals while
yet a girl, and, in 1919, taking special course
of instruction in the nurses art. In 1851 she
had charge Of a sanitorium for infirm and in
valid governesses in London. aud in 1884, then
being s. years of age, went 10 the Crimea as
superintendent of corps Of volunteer nurses.
There were ninety-two Of these brave women,
and with Miss Nightingale as their leader
they organized hospital at Scutari in No

Queen Victoria sent the heroine a Jew

her a bracelet set with briliants and a

her direction, and the soldiers Of the Crimean

For many years she has lived unobtrusivcly
in Park lane, London. But although physi-
cally incapacitated from active benevolent
work, she has managed TO do much for suf-
fering humanity in her writings, which have
been voluminouS, helpful and instructive.
Florence Nightingale, As might be ex-
pected, has numbered among her friends
many of the most eminent men and women
of the times. Perhaps her most beautiful
friendship has been that with Jenny Lind, the
singer There is but years difference in
their ages, and the singer reappeared on the
CONCERT stage 10 charm the world with her
music at about the time that Miss Nightin-
gale started to the Crimea TO alleviate the
sufferings Of English soldiers. Both have
been noted during their latter life for their
unobtrusive deeds of charity.
II was while she was caring for battered
fighting men in the Crimea that Miss Night
ingale met Alexis Soyer-Soyer, the cook,
now almost forgotten by the busy world and
remembered principally because Of his skill
in making delicious dishes ont Of scraps But
Soyers work WAS scarcely less beneficial to
the English army than that Of Florence

proved perceptibly at once and he was the

Soyer was the author Of several books, not
the least charming of which is "A Culinary
